Toddler vomited n little fever

Yesterday night when I was travelling in train...all of a sudden my two year little one vomited all his dinner. Temperature also was little high. I tried giving medicine that time for fever....that he vomited again. Then he slept .morning I gave water after half n hour he vomited it also. Then we went to pediatric doctor....now he is fine. I have given medicine priscribed by dr. He is OK now but is dull as he didn't have anything from morning. As this condition is first time for me so m little confused how to deal with it.kindly suggest how to again start with food n all.what should I give him so that he recovers well.

Hi shraddha, recently I had faced same situation. Baby was vomiting everything from morning till 2 AM night. He was having fever almost 100F even after 6 hrs of one dose of paracetamol it became 101. By evening fever got down but he was very dull & needing me everytime which was very unusual. One more thing, he was passing watery motions. Also while cleaning vomiting I noticed it was mucousy.
Pead said it was bacterial gastroenteritis i.e., bacterial infection in intestines & he was very sure that situation may get worse but as we went earlier things controlled in 48 hrs. Doc basically gave him probiotic and antibiotic. You may give him some yogurt as it will sooth down the infected tummy. Also try to give him banana as it is rich in potassium & also very feeling. Try to give salty things like khichdi as it will maintain sodium level. Also give him ORS 3-4 days...hope it will work

Plz help.

Hi Shraddha! Very sorry for the little one...but why he was admitted into hospital? I had also faced the similar situation regarding loss of interest in food. Don't force feed him like if initially he was having one bowl of food then now half bowl will also work. Don't forget to add ORS in his water. He will resume his appetite in a couple of days. Instead of plain water u may give him coconut water or pomegranate/orange juice also. As juices tend to change the taste of pallet babies may find some interest in having different food also. This all is what I m saying according to my LO's taste & preference.

How old is ur lo?
My son had diarrhoea at 13m. Started with vomiting n then loose motions. He wad hospitalized for 3 days n lost almost 1.5kg. Those 3 days r like nightmare for me. My son had to take saline through IV line. He would cry so much every time he was pricked.

Hi Shraddha! It will take time but as shravanip mentioned, probiotics is a must. Doc prescribed Econorm 2 sachets daily for 5 days but after 5 days I m regularly giving him smoothie made by one banana one chickoo & one small katori curd. My baby also had the tendency of spitting up. In 2-3 days it was kind of must & I was really frustrated for me. But curd really helped me a lot.
Babies become cranky after illness may be due to weakness. What I did, I started playing with him like hide & seek made funny faces though I myself got fever after 3 days so dear u need to keep patience.
Don't be so sad regarding weaning...unfortunately I m ff mom so no idea abt weaning...but just a big hug to u & why r u worrying dear. Now our champ needs his smile back & u r a strong mom...once u had weaned u can do it again dear.

Life with a toddler can be fun, exhausting and sometimes even frustrating. As you watch your toddler reach milestones, throw tantrums and discover the world, share your experiences with other mums going through the same as you. You might find useful advice, have a bit of fun and even make friends along the way.... more
